Details

plot
In Moscow, Defense Minister Dmitri Koniev is kidnapped by Killian and the Crimson Pirates, who force him to help them gain access to the Research Annex, where the X-Men and Colonel Alexei Vazhin hold their colleague, Tullamore Voge, in custody. At the Research Annex, Phoenix enters the mind of Voge, but is interrupted by Wolverine using Cerebro, who requests aid from her team to help free some captured X-Men from the Goth, who are also slavers like Voge. Before Phoenix can ask more, they are ambushed by Voge, who was expecting Jean to try and enter his mind and tries to make Wolverine his personal Hound. Phoenix sends Wolverine out of the astral plane, but is ambushed by an unknown man whom Phoenix recognizes. Cable follows Jean in the astral plane, but ends up being possessed by the mysterious villain, who seems to have removed the techno-organic virus from Cable’s system. The Crimson Pirates get into the building, but are defeated by Gambit and Storm. Cable, who is possessed, ambushes Gambit and Storm. Vazhin tells Beast, Phoenix, and Major Debra Levin that they have been betrayed, but is murdered by the Sea Dogs before he can say more. Beast, Phoenix, and Levin barely escape the building as the Pirates free Voge and run off with Storm, Cable, and Gambit.
